How much do you know about me?
How much do you know about roots?
"It's undeniable that this is entirely possible."
"He's not Uchiha Shisui; he won't give you any chance to launch a sneak attack."
Faced with Danzo's questioning, Hiruzen Sarutobi responded without changing his expression.
This is the second reason why they rejected the action.
Although the current environment is relatively peaceful, there are still undercurrents. The most important thing is to bring all forces together.
Reckless spending will only make actual use pale in comparison.
‘Crack. ’
A crisp sound rang out here. Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see that the cane that Shimura Danzo had been gripping tightly in his palm had started to crack!
Hiruzen is right.
For some reason, this thought suddenly arose in Yu Zhi's mind.
Moreover, the moment such a thought arose, it intensified and filled his entire sea of consciousness.
It will fail.
Will lose!
Even if he puts himself and his entire root into it, he is still very likely to lose!
The eyes that met his gaze three years ago now reappear like a nightmare in his sealed memories.
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Will you recreate that night, or use his people to threaten him?"
After a brief silence, he gave up arguing and instead asked a question with a gloomy expression.
He had come to realize that he wasn't 100% confident he could take down that guy, after all, that person wasn't the simple and naive Uchiha Shisui.
Do you think such a thing is possible?
"Who in that clan would willingly be your executioner?"
"Who in that clan wouldn't be willing to die for their patriarch?"
"Using his own people as hostages? Have you ever seen Kaleidoscope go crazy?"
"I have seen."
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately retorted sarcastically.
The roots that have sunk underground have eventually decayed and lost their former sharpness.
The ideas they come up with are all so outdated and ridiculous!
"So what do you suggest we do?"
"What do you need me to do now?"
Hearing such sarcasm, Danzo did not get angry as usual, but instead asked a question in return.
Just as he had previously stated, he was willing to sacrifice half of his life's work and his own interests as long as the hidden danger in the village could be resolved!
“You don’t need to do anything,”
"You can't do this either."
In response, the Third Generation calmly took a deep drag on his tobacco.
And this time, without waiting for his old friend to ask anything, he added on his own:
"Let me finish what you haven't finished."
All you need to do is stand by and watch quietly.
Just like before.
Chapter 326 Gaara of the Sandfall!
Watch quietly.
These words, upon hearing them, immediately stirred up a long-buried, resentful memory within Danzo.
That time, faced with his unwavering obsession that seemed within easy reach, he could only watch helplessly as his old rival performed and rose to his current position.
Now, when it comes to resolving the issue of a mere junior, must we repeat the mistakes of the past?
He was unwilling to accept it.
Extreme resentment!
However, upon closer examination, it seems that the only remaining elite members of the root system that he can still command are Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune. If such a shallow foundation is overturned, then he will no longer be qualified to consider anything else.
Suddenly, a strange sense of sorrow filled Danzo's heart.
He once pulled out the entire root with one hand.
Even Hiruzen's ANBU members were mostly trained by Root members, but now they've become just a few empty shells.
Is all of this just a coincidence, or is it all part of your plan?
Should we leave Sasuke Uchiha to control Ara?
So, during the gap period when the former has fully matured, should we fill it with our own foundation? Would this also reduce our own threat and ambition?
At that moment, Danzo suddenly understood.
But ultimately there was no evidence.
After giving the old man, who remained seated in the Hokage's seat, a meaningful glance, he chose to leave silently and angrily.
[You can recruit more subordinates if you lose them.]
Even if the roots are gone, they can still be rebuilt.
As long as I am alive, this struggle will never end.
This is merely a halftime break, a time of shared animosity!
"and many more."
But just as his hand landed on the doorknob, ready to push the door open and leave, his old rival, whom he had spent his entire life trying to defeat, called him back.
Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo hesitated for a second. He didn't want to pay attention to it and didn't want to stay any longer to see the other party's smug expression.
But in the end, they stopped as instructed.
At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, having put down his pipe, lightly tapped the smooth table and spoke to the void:
"come in."
After the words fell,
The seemingly translucent window was not fully closed, allowing the evening breeze to slip in, instantly creating a unique atmosphere inside the room.
The very next second, an ANBU ninja dressed in standard ninja attire and wearing a white mask appeared in the room.
"Lord Hokage, a letter has arrived from the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure."
As he was changing rooms, he respectfully placed a white letter on the flat table.
"Lord Luo Sha?"
As he muttered to himself, Hiruzen Sarutobi, having put down his pipe, had already taken the letter that had been handed to him on the table.
"You've worked hard, you can leave now."
Of course, he also gave orders to his direct subordinates who were standing by.
"Yes."
Upon receiving the order, the members of the secret service bowed and took several steps back before disappearing from the group's sight.
The windows, which had been letting in drafts, were now shut shut by external force, and the entire space returned to its previous oppressive silence.
After a while,
The Third Hokage placed the letter he had finished reading on the table, picked up the tobacco pipe stained with star-like smoke again, and exhaled a cloud of mixed white smoke as his eyelids lowered slightly.
"What's wrong, Hiruzen?"
"What is the purpose of this letter from the Sand Village at this time?"
Koharu Utatane, clearly unable to contain herself at her old friend's momentary silence, immediately blurted out a question.
After all, this is a crucial time for them to eliminate Uchiha Ara. They finally managed to get Hiruzen to personally arrange the operation, so how could they allow other forces to suddenly interfere and disrupt the established plan?
Compared to Koharu Utatane's unease, Homura Mitokado and Danzo Shimura were much more composed.
Judging from Hiruzen's expression, it wasn't anything too urgent, otherwise he wouldn't be so relaxed as to smoke his pipe.
Hearing this, the Third Hokage, who was eager to hear the news, did not remain silent any longer. After exhaling another puff of smoke, he slowly replied in a low voice:
"The Chunin Exams".
"In order to test the strength of the younger generation, the Fourth Kazekage, Lord Rasa, wants to jointly hold a joint exam with us to promote Chunin."
"As for the location of the exam, Konoha or Sunagakure are both fine; we can decide."
This is a very ordinary exchange of letters.
It is also a very normal social event between allies.
But it just so happens that at this time, at this juncture.
Moreover, among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure is probably the only one that can be described as stable and biding its time in recent years.
After delivering the message, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly narrowed his eyes again and took a deep drag on his pungent tobacco, seemingly trying to clear his mind and become more alert through the smell of tobacco.
To be honest, this was a rather ordinary joint event, but it made him feel a little uneasy.
After all, Rasa, like Onoki of Iwagakure, was not a good neighbor without ambition.
"Refuse, Hiruzen."
